Make a to do list and work them off one by one. The most simple and straightforward way to keep yourself doing the things you need doing.Some of the top prio things should prolly be:- the website- a first piece of free stuff (to let ppl sniff at stuff)- a first piece of pay-for stuff (to let the cash flow towards you in stead of only away from you)As to the website, the following comment I have. Why is the colorful wizard figure replaced on most parts of the site with the colorless 3P logo?? The site is already pretty dull and cold colorwise, the wizard pushing his pencil was a very fine 'logo' for the the site in terms of adding a bit of color without making the whole site garish. I do not know about others, but personally I liked the version before MUCH better then how it looks/feels now. Use the 3P logo purely a product logo, and put it on the website somewere in a lower corner for recognitive purposes, but keep the wizard in the left upper corner to spice up the site a bit.I think it is pretty important for you to get a product to market fast. You are currently riding a wave of sympathy. Lots of ppl who read this thread, you just had the F5 interview thingy, and made a lot of noise across several boards. Now it is still news and at the forefront of ppl's minds. The attention span of consumers is deplorably short however. Within a few weeks most of this goodwill will have evaporated. There is even a risk of a downside. Having promised good stuff to come along soon, in a few weeks the first potential customers will already get this unfocused feeling of being somehow cheated / that you do not meet expectations, and will develop slight antipathy towards your company. It is best not to reach this state, as it will mean additional effort on your part to overcome this.Anyhoo, just thought to give you some free advice (most of my clients pay me the equivalent of USD200 per hour for this type of advice....) cuz I think it would be a shame if an effort begun with so much energy flounders unnecessarily. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see stuff from you soon...</blockquote>
